Georges Roumier, Morey Clos de la Bussiere 2010

The Morey Saint Denis Clos de la Bussiere 2010 from Roumier is really showing it’s potential. Lovely transparent nose with raspberries, cherries and blueberries spiced by a lovely earthy minerality. On platate very fine intense fruit … transparent .. cool and balanced – so typical for the 2010 vintage. It’s more dense and muscular than the Mugnier Marechale 2010 .. but perhaps lacking a bit of it’s airyness in the fruit. One of the best Bussieres I have tasted … lovely and showing much better than 6 month ago. Will require at least 10 – 15 years of cellaring before it reach it’s peak

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Musigny 2004 The 2004 Musigny from Vogëé is starting to unfold and shedding the slight austerity. It’s a bit rustic and still some tannnins left. Strong minerality – classic Musigny – with a good mid-palate fruit. I sort of prefer the Dujac Bonnes Mares 2004 for its refinement .. although it’s lighter. Give this 5 years more ...
